Tehran, YJC. Boroujerdi says that Iran is the leading power in regional defense.

Chairman
of the National Security and Foreign Policy of the Majlis said "Iran’s Ministry
of Defense has a special place in the regional deterrence. Iran’s power in the
region and the world is so great that no superpower the like of America would
dare attack the country. They struck nuclear sites in Iraq and Syria but dared
not attack Iran.”

"After
the revolution, since they didn’t have the F14 in their air force, the US
destroyed their entire arsenal that belonged to the fighter with the intention
to prevent the parts being smuggled to Iran. But our experts, relying on
national abilities, rebuilt all the parts inside the country.”

He also
pointed to the Iranian nuclear case being pursued by the US and said "The
outcome of this international encounter between Iran and the US will be the
recognition of Iran’s nuclear right and power.”

Boroujerdi
added "The fact that John Kerry says the Fordo facilities must be removed is
because they know that with passive defense, they do not have the power to
attack the facilities.”
